I'm not real strong on GM, but have done collision work on the model car you have. I beleive that the steering rack is mounted to the fire wall, secured by two clamps. There are rubber bushings which surround the rack and the clamps hold it tight against the fire wall. If the bushings fail from age or oil getting on them and softening the rubber up, the rack will get very loose and make the very symptom you are describing.

Most likely is the battery, if not maintained properly the battery will die if left uncharged for a few months. The Superpower has a controller much like a scooter controller, built into the controller is a low voltage shut off. If the battery is not providing at least 21.5V under load, it will shut down and not move.
Do an ebay search for RBC6 batteries and get 2 12V 12ah batteries, wire them in series to get 24V and use the yellow connector to connect it to your Super Power. You should be able to get them shipped to your door for around $44 vs paying $125 for the Peg original.

Unfortunately the batteries just lose their holding power after awhile, and if you don't keep them charged every few months (like during winter if your child isn't riding, you still need to charge / refresh the battery every 2 months or so, if it isn't charged for a few months, it'll lose some of it's holding power), that's a very common problem. Our 24V Perego batteries for our Gaucho only seem to last like 30 minutes of constant riding (my son rides non stop sometimes for 30+ minutes). If you check out the site modifiedpowerwheels.com , people convert them to use non Perego batteries that run for much longer!

There is a key on these that turn it on when the battery is connected to the vehicle, so either just unplug the battery or turn the key off. I know on ours, after a few minutes, it would shut off on it's own to save battery power, and we'd have to turn the key back to off, then back on again to get going again. Check out the site modifiedpowerwheels.com, tons of cool info on doing fun stuff to your Gaucho!

I don't think these regular Gauchos lights actually work, they are just fake. Only the 24V (800 dollar ones) have working lights. You can add lights, buy a set on Ebay, under Power wheels led , they sell kits that run off a little 9V battery, easy to install, Im a chick and did it myself using a kit off Ebay, I have no electrical knowledge at all!
